What is the difference between parallel and collinear vectors?

I'm studying vectors in Analytic Geometry and we were given an exercise to verify if three points are collinear. Once two vectors $\vec v$ and $\vec u$ are collinear if $\exists k \in \mathbb{R}: \vec v=k\vec u$, two vectors are collinear if they are parallel.

Given the points $P(3, 2, 1)$, $Q(-2, 5, 2)$ and $S(8, -1, 0)$,

$\overrightarrow {PQ} = Q - P = (-2, 5, 2)-(3, 2, 1)=(-5, 3, 1)$

$\overrightarrow {QS} = S -Q = (8, -1, 0)-(-2, 5, 2)=(10, -6, -2)$

Once $-2 \overrightarrow {PQ}=\overrightarrow {QS}$, we have $\overrightarrow {QS}\parallel\overrightarrow {PQ}$ and hence $P, Q$ and $S$ are collinear.

In analytic geometry collinear vectors and parallel vectors seems to be the same thing (Note: I don't know about linear algebra), but is there a difference between them? I know that there is an answer here Difference between collinear vectors and parallel vectors? , but I would like other ones.
